The Masters

We are headed out to Augusta tomorrow for 3 days at the Masters! I am so excited because Mike has never been and it is something that was on his 'bucket list'. The Masters is a special event because it preserves the true integrity of the game of golf. They are very strict at Augusta but in a good way. There are no commercial endorsements there at all. The grounds are pristine and manicured beyond perfection. The one thing I love (and hate) about golf is that it challenges you mentally far more than it does physically because it's not a sport you can master. I have been a golfer for a long time and I truly love the game. I really hope that Landry will come to love it and that we can play as a family one day. Mike and I even had a golf tournament when we got married called the Mader Cup! It won't be for a while but we'll have her a set of clubs before you know it. In the mean time, I'll leave you with one of my new favorite pictures. She was really excited when we shook the tree and told her it was snowing. Some of the white petals flew into the air and she was just elated. She even stopped blowing her bubbles! On a sweet note, today, she looked at me and said 'Mama, some juice please!' I said ok..what else would you like? She promptly answered " Down and fish please." In other words, I want down and I would like some juice and goldfish, please. And yes, I did get a 'tain tu' ---aka thank you when I delivered.
